    I can pee outside.
    If you load those to 850-950/1000, they'll work.

    Yeah, that's barely +P pistol velocity. In a much heavier, shoulder-fired gun, I don't think you need to worry about them getting set back by recoil. Remember that the gun goes backward, so they just stay where they are while the tube moves rearward around them. Then the spring pushes them back to the rear of the tube. If you have any concern, limit the number in the tube. Give it a decent taper crimp due to no cannelure. You can probably do that just fine if you have consistent brass length and use a .45 Auto crimp die.

    Should work stellar on Bambi.

    I'd be concerned about setback due to magazine spring tension. Carrying it with two rounds, one in the tube and one in the chamber, would be a way around it. Folks who run spitzers in tube-fed guns do that.

    Interesting, I had thought about grafting the screw head from a marlin 39 takedown screw onto a Winchester 94 tang screw. It would probably be worth the $38 for one if it worked on a Winchester.

    Im also thinking on making a sidefolder with hinge. I have the hinge and stock, but dont currently have a good saw to make the cut, and about 900 other projects ahead of it.

    Malamute:

    Being of the thrifty sort (some call it cheap) I figure you could easily weld the head of a small bolt (cost of less than a $1.00) onto a Model 94 stock screw and save some money. I have a local welder who has done some fabulous work for me at reasonable prices, that would probably be able to do something like that fairly inexpensively. Similarly, I once saw a take down conversion of a Remington M870 shotgun where a gent cut an oval hole through the stock where the stock screw passes through and attached some sort of bolt to the stock screw.

    Cheers to you and your pup!

    Interesting thought.

    I may be too much of a neat freak. One would never know it from the lack of finish on many of my guns though.

    I made a case for a Winchester 94 ages ago (Jr high era) )and a pocket for the butt stock. It worked out OK, I just used a screw driver to run the screw. I think I made a small sleeve on the case for a screwdriver, or maybe one of the old 1903 Springfield screwdrivers, along with one for a cleaning rod.

    I always have a swiss army knife and leatherman on me that would work on the screw, but the head gets wallowed with time. Ive also discovered that if the screw isnt truly tight, the stock wobbles when pulled tight into the shoulder. Its part of why I decided to pursue the hinge idea. I have a hinge for an Ace stock. Ive seen them used on various guns, it seems like a workable idea. Cut just behind the front of the comb, and hinge it to swing left.

    A guy made a metal skeleton stocked Winchester for trapping and hunting, he copied some made years before by some Mt lion hunters. Its functional, but somewhat course in execution and concept. Hes satisfied with it, so thats what matters in his case, but it wasnt quite what I was looking for.

    I saw several pictures of it in the past, but they didnt show up in a google search, but I saved at least one. He posted them on several forums in the past. If i recall correctly, it requires loosing and snugging a wing nut to open/close it and use it.

    I found the picture the guy in the above picture used as an example when he made his.
